They're bombing for peace. -Libya

Hear they go again; they are bombing for peace,
In Libya they were fighting to bring the regime to its knees,
They wanted Gaddafi weak so they could force him to leave,
So please remember their cries before you choose what you believe,
Is it a coincidence they invaded Iraq today in 2003,
Or that they claimed they would help its people be free,
Remember goverments don’t fight for the sake of humanity,
C’mon believing that would truly be a form of insanity,
Did thy not sell weapons to Gaddafi to enforce his regime?
Or is just me who see’s that they are switching teams,
They said Iraq was invaded to rid the people of Sadam,
& now they bomb Libya to free the people of a man,
8 years on and look at the state of Iraq,
Do the people on Libya need to be victim to that?

Death of the Easter Bunny

Fear is such a powerful thing that it can cement every detail of any event into a childs brain.

But first a little back story. I was born in a home where my mum was Christen and my dad was a Muslim. So unlike everyone else i didnt have a normal up bringing, I had an AWESOME ONE!! I got the best of both worlds, Christmas, Easter & Eid!! Which to a child meant more and more and more presents, chocolates and cake (i trust you remember how that turned out).

A message to the Youth - positive stuff, it wont eat you.

came across this vid and i liked what he said. I don't know the shaykh or anything. just the vid and what he's saying. I like.

edit: i see NO ONE (sad) has commented on this. I really liked what the shaykh said! and i thought it would be nice to share this on here.

so to my lazy friends, here is a lil overview of what talks about:

*how the youth had an important place in Islam and the spreading of Islam
*how young people were amongst the first to convert
*we are the future (sorry for cliche)
*we have the time
*how the prophet (pbuh) gave great responsibilities to the youth in his time. And he mentions lots of names and stories. (the clip is only 3mins)

Research to improve well-being among Muslims

Dear British Muslims,

I am a PhD student doing research into how we can improve well-being among Muslims living in the UK and I’d really appreciate the help of British Muslims in doing my research.

For those of you who identify themselves as Muslims and are 18 years or older, I’d be very grateful if you could please fill out my questionnaire (should only take about 10 minutes), which you can find at: https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/sussex/well-being.

Please feel free to pass on this link to Muslim friends of family living in the UK!

Many thanks!!
